Chapter Summaries

Ling Taixuan and Patriarch Xuanji joined Heavenly Lord Haoyang’s alliance and agreed to help attack the Luozhen Sect and Moon God Wangshu. Meanwhile, Li Yunjing upgraded the Biyuan Tribe’s Totem Hall to level eight, whereupon the tribe’s first ancestor manifested and blessed its people.

• Ling Taixuan pledged the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect to the Heavenly Hao Alliance after Heavenly Lord Haoyang explained the factions among the surviving gods.
• Heavenly Lord Haoyang named Moon God Wangshu and the Luozhen Sect as his first targets, and Ling Taixuan and Patriarch Xuanji eagerly offered to lead the attack.

• Li Yunjing upgraded the Totem Hall to level eight, causing it to rise into a magnificent structure before the astonished tribe.
• The Biyuan Tribe’s first ancestor manifested above the hall and scattered golden radiance that healed and strengthened the tribespeople.
• After the ancestor’s phantom vanished, Li Yunjing examined the level-eight Totem Hall’s spiritual effects.

Li Yunjing established the Totem Hall, whose blessings strengthened the Biyuan Tribe and benefited Luozhen Sect disciples through prayer and inheritance. As the Heavenly Hao Alliance prepared to target the sect, Li ordered its defenses reinforced, while Heavenly Lord Haoyang’s gods took shelter at the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect.

• Li Yunjing told Zhi Qianshu to organize daily sacrifices and open the Totem Hall to Luozhen Sect disciples while maintaining order.
• Ye Chen prayed in the hall and gained insight into the Mountain-Cleaving Force, inspiring other disciples to seek inheritances there.
• Ding Qifeng obtained a High Antiquity Body-Tempering Pill formula, and the hall became popular among Luozhen Sect disciples.
• More than a dozen Biyuan youths awakened their ancestor's bloodline, while Zhi Qianshu reached Dao Union Middle Stage and the tribe's warriors grew stronger.
• After learning that Heavenly Lord Haoyang and the Heavenly Hao Alliance might attack, Li Yunjing ordered the sect to reinforce its defenses and prepare for battle.
• At the Primordial Beginning Divine Hall, Primordial Lord Bi Shui told Haoyang that the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect's fortune shielded the gods from divine sense and weakened the Tribulation Qi's detection.

Haoyang ordered a covert probe of Luozhen Province, hoping to draw out Wangshu and discover the Luozhen Sect’s strength. After learning Li Yunjing possessed an Innate Immortal Artifact, Haoyang resolved to seize it and the Immortal Vein, while Ma Jingting and two Lower Gods attacked a border defense line.

• Haoyang tasked Golden Light and Black Stone with provoking the Luozhen Sect, and ordered War God Xuanjie to secretly assess Wangshu’s strength.
• Hundred Herbs Old Immortal reported that few Rogue Cultivators had agreed to join Haoyang, who urged the gods to eliminate their opponents to survive the Final God-Slaying Tribulation.
• Ling Taixuan told Haoyang that Li Yunjing possessed the Five Aggregates Cauldron, an Innate Immortal Artifact, and Haoyang decided to take it and the Immortal Vein.
• Ma Jingting led a hundred Primordial Beginning Dao Sect disciples alongside Golden Light and Black Stone to Luozhen Province’s eastern border.
• The attackers shattered the defense line’s formation, killed and wounded its defenders, looted and burned its supplies, and Black Stone contaminated the land and water with Tribulation Qi.
• After capturing the defense line, Ma Jingting’s group headed toward a nearby trade route to cause further trouble.

After Heavenly Hao Alliance raided Luozhen Sect’s eastern border, Gu Xuan pursued the attackers and confronted them in the Great Wilderness. She trapped their forces in her Moonlight Domain and began cutting down their disciples.

• Li Yunjing ordered the eastern border fortified and sent Gu Xuan to investigate the attackers’ divine power.
• Gu Xuan identified the golden token as bearing Heavenly Lord Haoyang’s sun-god power and traced the attackers east with two disciples.
• Gu Xuan caught Ma Jingting, Golden Light, Black Stone, and their Primordial Beginning Dao Sect force as they headed back through the wilderness.
• Ma Jingting ordered his disciples to attack Gu Xuan, while Golden Light and Black Stone struck at her with divine power.
• Gu Xuan unleashed her Moonlight Domain, killed the front ranks with a Moon Blade, and dissolved Golden Light’s needles before they could harm her.

Gu Xuan defeated the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect’s two Lower God envoys, but War God Xuanjie appeared and threatened Luozhen Province with destruction unless the Moon God was handed over within three days. Li Yunjing refused to betray Wangshu and ordered the Luozhen Sect to prepare for war.

• Gu Xuan used her Moonlight Domain and New and Full Moon Slash to gravely wound Golden Light and Black Stone, forcing Ma Jingting and the surviving disciples to flee.
• War God Xuanjie attacked Gu Xuan with a black war spear, then withdrew after sensing the Luozhen Sect’s Immortal Artifact approaching and issued a three-day ultimatum.
• Gu Xuan returned to Luozhen City and reported Xuanjie’s threat to Li Yunjing and the assembled elders.
• Li Yunjing rejected handing over Wangshu and ordered the Immortal Alliance to be contacted while the sect and its allies prepared defenses, weapons, medicine, and troops.

Li Yunjing prepared the Luozhen Sect and its allies to face Heavenly Lord Haoyang’s invasion, while the Immortal Alliance offered limited reinforcements. Three days later, Haoyang demanded the Moon God, the Five Aggregates Cauldron, and the Luozhen Sect’s submission, then ordered War God Xuanjie to seize Li Yunjing.

• Gu Xuan relayed Wangshu’s warning that Haoyang might possess divine-war treasures, and Li Yunjing learned that Wangshu could strike only once.
• Mo Xuan reported that the Immortal Alliance would send three hundred elites led by Wang Heng, while other local sects and the Biyuan Tribe pledged to fight alongside the Luozhen Sect.
• Li Yunjing ordered the Luozhen forces to meet the enemy in three days as news of the coming war spread across the Five Provinces.
• Zhang Jianchen decided the Immortal Alliance would send limited aid, keeping greater forces in reserve while the Luozhen Sect fought the Heavenly Hao Alliance and the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect.
• On the fourth morning, Haoyang’s army and more than twenty gods arrived at Luozhen Province’s eastern border, where Li Yunjing and his forces stood ready.
• Haoyang demanded Wangshu, the Five Aggregates Cauldron, and the Luozhen Sect’s surrender; Li Yunjing refused, and Haoyang ordered Xuanjie to seize him.

Gu Xuan and the Luozhen Sect disciples fought War God Xuanjie and Primordial Lord Bi Shui, but the arrival of more gods pushed them toward defeat. Li Yunjing finally brought out the Immortal Artifact Five Aggregates Cauldron, leaving the battle poised to change.

• Li Yunjing sent Gu Xuan to face War God Xuanjie, and she blocked his opening strike before they fought to a standstill.
• Heavenly Lord Haoyang ordered Primordial Lord Bi Shui to join the battle, and Chu Han leaped in to help Gu Xuan.
• Chu Han and the other personal disciples joined the fight, but they struggled against the gods’ strength.
• Li Yunjing ordered Zhi Qianshu to lead three hundred Biyuan warriors into battle with their Totem Battle Markings, forcing Primordial Lord Bi Shui to retreat.
• Heavenly Lord Haoyang sent Emissary Golden Light and Emissary Black Stone into the fight, and the Luozhen Sect’s fighters were driven back.
• Li Yunjing summoned the Five Aggregates Cauldron, and its Immortal Artifact pressure alarmed the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect.

Li Yunjing used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to capture and refine two Lower Gods, then endured Heavenly Lord Haoyang and the remaining gods’ assault with the help of the ten Ancestral Veins. As Haoyang hesitated over whether to continue, an urgent report announced that the Immortal Alliance and nearby sect reinforcements were approaching.

• Li Yunjing used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to suck in and refine Emissary Golden Light and Black Stone while Gu Xuan kept War God Xuanjie from intervening.
• Heavenly Lord Haoyang attacked Li Yunjing, but the Five Aggregates Cauldron and Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner blocked his Sun Burns the Heavens strike.
• Haoyang ordered the remaining gods to attack together and wear Li Yunjing down, making the barrier flicker under their assault.
• Li Yunjing called on the ten Ancestral Vein incarnations, whose power poured into the Five Aggregates Cauldron and restored its barrier.
• A messenger warned Haoyang that about three hundred members of the Immortal Alliance and reinforcements from nearby sects were arriving.

After the Luozhen Sect repelled Haoyang’s attack, Li Yunjing welcomed the Immortal Alliance reinforcements and attended a family banquet where Wang Heng urged the Qingxuan Couple and Li Yunjing to consider having children. Later, Wangshu brought Li Yunjing requests from Rogue Cultivator gods and revealed the history of the Divine Lord of Creation’s lost divine artifact.

• Haoyang withdrew with the Heavenly Hao Alliance and the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect after Li Yunjing’s side forced them back, and Li Yunjing ordered the Luozhen Sect to tend to the wounded and celebrate.
• Wang Heng arrived with Immortal Alliance reinforcements and praised Li Yunjing for defeating the attack before they could help.
• At a family banquet, Wang Heng urged Wang Qianxue and Nangong Chengyu to have a child and told Li Yunjing to find a dao companion.
• Wangshu asked Li Yunjing whether the Luozhen Sect would shelter the Rogue Cultivator gods, explaining that Haoyang might target them after his defeat.
• Wangshu told Li Yunjing that the Divine Lord of Creation had used the Divine Seal of Creation to protect the gods and living beings during the first God-Slaying Tribulation, but both the Divine Lord and the artifact were lost.

Li Yunjing agreed to shelter Rogue Cultivator gods under strict rules, and their skills quickly strengthened the Luozhen Sect. Wangshu then pinpointed the Divine Seal of Creation’s emergence at Fallen God Mountain in seven days, where Haoyang may also seek it.

• Wangshu warned Li Yunjing that Haoyang must not obtain the Divine Seal of Creation and said it would soon emerge in the Great Wilderness.
• Li Yunjing set three conditions for Rogue Cultivator gods seeking shelter, including leaving soul imprints, obeying sect orders, and contributing their skills.
• Old God Lingmu led the first seven gods to join the Luozhen Sect, where they registered with the Five Aggregates Cauldron and began serving the sect.
• As the gods’ contributions benefited the sect, more arrived, bringing its roster to twenty-one gods.
• Wangshu told Li Yunjing that the Divine Seal of Creation would emerge at Fallen God Mountain in seven days and that Haoyang likely knew its location.

Li Yunjing prepared to seek the Divine Seal of Creation while the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect and Heavenly Hao Alliance remained silent. He discovered Haoyang had recovered his lifebound artifact and regained his strength, leaving the coming contest at Fallen God Mountain far more dangerous.

• Li Yunjing learned that the Divine Seal of Creation would choose its own master and ordered stronger border patrols after Mo Xuan reported the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect had vanished behind its sealed valley.
• Over the next half month, Luozhen Sect gained more gods and grew stronger, while Wang Heng returned to Central Divine Province with the Immortal Alliance reinforcements.
• Five Spirits Lord sensed powerful solar divine energy deep in Primordial Beginning Valley, and Wangshu told Li Yunjing that Haoyang had once possessed a lost lifebound divine artifact.
• Haoyang revealed that he had recovered the Blazing Sun Divine Spear, healed his injuries, and regained his peak strength.
• Haoyang told War God Xuanjie and the other gods that they would seek the Divine Seal of Creation first, then destroy the Luozhen Sect.

Haoyang planned to lure Li Yunjing away from the Luozhen Sect by releasing the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil, then attack the sect while it was undefended. He led his group into the Ten Thousand Souls Cave, where several followers died before they reached the altar and saw the sealed devil.

• Haoyang proposed releasing the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil to draw Li Yunjing away from the Luozhen Sect, then seize the sect and its treasures.
• Haoyang chose seven Lower Gods as sacrifices and ordered Hundred Herbs to remain behind while he, Xuanjie, Bi Shui, Ling Taixuan, and others went to the cave.
• Haoyang's group traveled west and entered the Ten Thousand Souls Cave, where the Yin Sha attacked their souls.
• An elder lost control and attacked a companion, so Xuanjie killed him; soul threads then dragged away two Lower Gods, and the cave consumed two more elders.
• Haoyang's surviving group reached the underground cavern and saw the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil confined within a pillar of black light above an altar.

Haoyang sacrificed five Lower Gods to weaken the seal on Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil and made a deal for the devil to unleash ferocious souls and cause chaos. After the souls ravaged the border of Luozhen Province, Li Yunjing learned of the crisis and decided the millions of mortals there had to be saved.

• Haoyang sacrificed five Lower Gods to break open the seal at Ten Thousand Souls Cave.
• Haoyang promised Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil more sacrifices in exchange for releasing ferocious souls gradually and creating a growing disturbance.
• Haoyang led his group away as ferocious souls poured from the cave and spread across the land.
• Two days later, Mo Xuan brought news to Li Yunjing that a hundred-li ghost domain had formed and nearby settlements had been slaughtered.
• Wangshu identified Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil and suspected Haoyang had broken the seal to create chaos.
• Li Yunjing resolved to save Luozhen Province's millions of mortals despite Mo Xuan and Wangshu warning that Haoyang might have another scheme.

Li Yunjing led a force to the Ten Thousand Souls Cave, where he confronted the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil with the Five Aggregates Cauldron. Their battle reached a stalemate as the cauldron refined the vicious souls, while Luozhen City faced a crisis.

• Li Yunjing ordered Mo Xuan and the remaining gods and elders to defend the sect, while the Five Spirits Lord arranged an avatar to protect it and Wangshu joined the expedition.
• Li Yunjing led more than three hundred people to the disaster-stricken western border of Luozhen Province and sent fleeing commoners toward safety.
• The Five Aggregates Cauldron absorbed vicious souls as Li Yunjing’s group advanced to the Ten Thousand Souls Cave.
• Li Yunjing assigned Wangshu and ten gods to establish the Moonlight World-Purifying Formation, then entered the cave alone.
• Li Yunjing found the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil by the damaged seal and fought off its soul threads with the Five Aggregates Cauldron.
• The Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil unleashed the Ten Thousand Souls God-Devouring Formation, and the two sides entered a stalemate as the cauldron refined the attacking souls.

The Heavenly Hao Alliance and Primordial Beginning Dao Sect attacked Luozhen City while Li Yunjing was away, but the Divine Seal of Creation appeared and saved the Luozhen Sect. Its artifact spirit easily injured Haoyang and warned him to leave, halting the assault.

• Heavenly Lord Haoyang led more than twenty gods and two thousand Primordial Beginning Dao Sect disciples in an attack on the Luozhen Sect.
• Mo Xuan, Five Spirits Lord, Zhi Qianshu, the Biyuan Tribe, and the defenders held the mountain-protecting grand formation against the gods' assault.
• Haoyang's Blazing Sun: Burning Heaven strike damaged the formation, wounded Mo Xuan, and left the formation close to collapse.
• The Divine Seal of Creation appeared above Luozhen City, restored the formation, and revealed that its artifact spirit was waiting for the one fated to receive it.
• Haoyang tried to seize the Divine Seal, but its artifact spirit shattered his golden chains and knocked him back, warning that he would lose his divinity if he persisted.

Haoyang retreated from Luozhen City after the Divine Seal of Creation appeared and protected the Luozhen Sect, then the seal stayed until Li Yunjing returned. Li Yunjing refined Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil and came back to the sect, where he saw the Divine Seal waiting above the grand hall.

• Haoyang withdrew his forces after the Divine Seal of Creation drove him back, and the artifact spirit explained it had come to keep a promise to Li Yunjing.
• The Divine Seal settled above Luozhen Grand Hall, increased the city's Spiritual Qi, and agreed to stay until Li Yunjing returned.
• Li Yunjing learned from a communication talisman that the sect was safe, then used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to refine Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil.
• Li Yunjing left the cave and told Wangshu that the Divine Seal had gone to Luozhen City and repelled Haoyang.
• Li Yunjing returned to Luozhen City a day later and saw the Divine Seal of Creation floating above the grand hall.

Li Yunjing secured the Divine Seal of Creation’s support for the Luozhen Sect and began preparing to undergo the Wind Tribulation as Haoyang withdrew to plot his next move. The chapter ended with Primordial Lord Bi Shui reporting that the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil had died.

• Li Yunjing met the Divine Seal of Creation, which agreed to stay in the Luozhen Sect and protect it but required him to pass a future test to inherit the Divine Lord’s Dao lineage.
• Li Yunjing ordered the sect to care for casualties, repair its defenses, resettle Luozhen Province, reward defenders, and keep the Divine Seal’s presence secret.
• Wangshu told Li Yunjing that more Rogue Cultivator gods planned to join the sect and that Haoyang had withdrawn to Primordial Beginning Valley.
• Li Yunjing ordered the sect to continue developing and began discussing Wind Tribulation preparations with Wangshu.
• Haoyang returned to the Hall of the Gods and raged about the Divine Seal before Primordial Lord Bi Shui told him that the Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil was dead.

Haoyang learned that the Ten Thousand Souls Cave had been destroyed and the Divine Seal of Creation was in the Luozhen Sect’s hands, deepening doubts within the Heavenly Hao Alliance. Li Yunjing studied the dangers of the Wind Tribulation, received preparations from the Immortal Alliance, and went to the cultivation chamber to begin preparing for it.

• Primordial Lord Bi Shui reported that the Ten Thousand Souls Cave had been razed, Ten Thousand Souls Old Devil was dead, and the Luozhen Sect had obtained the Divine Seal of Creation.
• Haoyang condemned the failed plan and insisted the Heavenly Hao Alliance still had time to find another way, though several gods began doubting whether they should follow him.
• Wangshu explained to Li Yunjing that his deep foundations and powerful treasures could make the Wind Tribulation especially dangerous, particularly its Divine Soul Gang Wind stage.
• An Immortal Alliance steward delivered Wang Heng’s letter, a copy of the Essentials of the Wind Tribulation, soul-protecting jades, and soul-stabilizing pills to Li Yunjing.
• Li Yunjing said the gifts increased his confidence and headed to the sect’s cultivation chamber to prepare for the Wind Tribulation.

Li Yunjing upgraded his cultivation room and prepared the sect for his seclusion before breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. As he began facing the Wind Tribulation, the Transcendence Immortal Venerable awakened through the Feathered Immortal Bone and warned him that an ordinary breakthrough would damage his foundation.

• Li Yunjing upgraded his cultivation room to level 11, gaining stronger spiritual effects that improved his chances of surviving the Wind Tribulation.
• Li Yunjing put Mo Xuan in charge of the sect during his seclusion and instructed the elders to keep a low profile, guard the borders, avoid conflict with the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, and conceal the Divine Seal of Creation.
• Three days later, Li Yunjing entered seclusion and cultivated until his spiritual power transformed into pale golden radiance, reaching the level of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator with five times the spiritual power of an ordinary cultivator at that level.
• The Feathered Immortal Bone in Li Yunjing's Dantian began glowing, and the Transcendence Immortal Venerable awakened to speak with him.
• The Transcendence Immortal Venerable warned Li Yunjing that the ordinary Wind Tribulation would damage his foundation and offered the Nine-Turn Marrow-Cleansing Instruction to temper his body, meridians, and divine soul.

Li Yunjing accepted Transcendence Immortal Venerable’s riskier Nine-Turn Marrow-Cleansing Instruction to pursue a perfect Dao foundation and began his Tribulation Transcendence. He completed the first layer, the Mortal Dust Gang Wind, but the Spirit Vein Gang Wind began attacking his meridians.

• Five Spirits Lord confirmed that the Nine-Turn Marrow-Cleansing Instruction could give Li Yunjing a supreme Dao foundation and a chance to reach the Dao Ancestor realm.
• Li Yunjing agreed to learn the method, and Transcendence Immortal Venerable imparted its formulas to him.
• After seven days of secluded cultivation, Li Yunjing’s Wind Tribulation arrived, and Mo Xuan ordered Luozhen City’s disciples to guard the area.
• The Mortal Dust Gang Wind shattered the cultivation room’s earth-vein barrier and battered Li Yunjing until he completed the first turn, refining his physical body.
• The Spirit Vein Gang Wind descended and began scouring Li Yunjing’s meridians, slowing the circulation of his spiritual power.
